Prescription medication costs can add up. Learn how OSHC plans manage these expenses to keep your health affordable.

What Medications Are Covered?

Many OSHC policies cover medications prescribed by registered doctors, but coverage levels and restrictions may vary.

Some medications require prior approval or have limits on the amounts reimbursed.

Pharmacy Visits and Claims

When collecting medications, use pharmacies that accept OSHC direct billing if possible to minimize upfront costs.

Otherwise, keep receipts to submit claims for reimbursement through your insurer.

Managing Costs Effectively

Ask your doctor about generic alternatives or bulk prescriptions to reduce expenses, which can be more cost-effective even with OSHC.

Check if your OSHC provider offers a list of preferred pharmacies or discount options.

Claim Submission Tips

Ensure all prescription labels and receipts are clear and complete when submitting claims.

Use your provider’s mobile apps or websites for faster claim processing and tracking.
